    Interesting week

    been a really good week this week, apart from the finance department which has well and trully under performed. Firstly, ive started my new job which is really good. job description is a simple order picker, but given time  to breath, it will be very easy to learn about the different components of the plumbing trade, and with a bit of luck ill find the right course for me and start september, and the two will go cap in hand. assise from the benefits for the future, the lads in the warehouse are really easy to get along with and the job isn't too difficult, or at least it wont be once i get my head around the 50,000 (approx) products we sell!!!
     
    Had to miss the footy today (did right from the radio commentry by the sounds of it) , but im sure all the lads did me proud on the intoxication front. gutted i had to miss it but finances dictated otherwise. finances have been that tight i didnt have a drink on thurs night, aside from the one chappy bought me which he owed (good man). Made the boo boo of telling the land lord of the railway we had been barred from our previous pub though, which i got a kicking for off the others. sorry lads. blonde moment. ah well.
     
    Mothers Birthday today, went for a lovely meal in Madisons opposite Hopwood Hall college in Rochdale. Really nice. grilled tomato on a bed of lettice with prime mozzerella cheese melted over organic potatoes and cart dor ice cream for afters, wth luxury rasberry and kiwi sauce. loves it!! (get it melia).
     
    talk of the family going to belgium in august, havent been away with all of us together in my living memory, so it will be good to go away with andy, alicia and brenda, and emma and john before they make the move to aus. never seen the attraction to aus. much rather keep my fifty quid thank yo very much.
     
    Bank holiday weekend this weekend, and it is the first in my working life where i havent had to work, because i no longer work in the retail trade. its awsome. pitty i havent the cash to get lashed!!!
     
    this blog has been kept clean because i have found out tonight my sister reads it and she will give me funny looks if i use the word bloody and go and tell my father who will think i am showing off!!!

    The time has come

    Sunday night and im about to start my new job tommoro, really nervous, but it will suit me down to the ground once i settle in. 8 tommoro morning. Ill be reet. Settled in with my new phone, and i gotta say, big up to leroy for the recommendation. you beauty. if ya wasnt such an ugly fucker, id kiss ya! lmao Seriously its got everything. i had the choice between this one W800i or a nokia, without a walkman, but with sat nav, but the sat nav one was 30 quid on contract, and bloody tesco have arse raped me. twas meant to be pay day on friday, but cos ive quit, i have to pay for this comp (which i had on tic) and they have taken my full bloody wage, and they still want an extra 100 bloody quid come next payday. bastards.
     
    so anyway, i went to tokyos last night, as previously said, im skint so i had to do a borrow off the very kind nick who bunged us sixty quid. met up with kidders in malonys and nick and cloughie met ann marie and claire, went in escoba before losing nick ann marie and claire and heading off to tokyos with kidders. met byrnsey in there, top laff, never met her before. although i think she was a bit intoxicated, as was her sister. by the end of the night, i had had two drinks poured over me, a left hook, contents of an ashtray over my head pinch marks all up my arm and had got the whole club singing latics songs. was rather proud of myself on that one. and kidders and byrnsey are my witnesses.
     
    anyway, ill sign off now, but just a quick note to melia,
     
    i tried that recipe you gasve me for a finest jacket potato with glazed garlic mushrooms and a  sprinkling of cheese with a succulent tomato, i had it with freshly squeezed fruit juices and it washed it down a treat. thanx for the tip mate
     
    any way, laterz

    Winding Down the days

    finally the end is nigh, the past few months working in the hell hole from hell have been hell. Weird thing is though, ever since i handed my notice in, ive actually enjoyed being in work. there is a chance its because i know im getting out, but i am still looking forward to Friday. not only am i gunna get pissed (Dont know where, dont know when dont know how, dont even know who, but im getting pissed), im only on a six hour shift, i finish tesco after it, im getting a new phone, ill let you know my choice, but im not one for a fancy dan one with big speakers and walkman things like lee, simple cool looking one will do me (ok it will prob have a walkman and a camera, but i will hardly use them). Lucy loo promised to take me bowling but she aint said anything to me yet, so i dont know.
     
    Had my exit interview with the boss today, and i feel really guilty now. what it is, you sit down and fill a form in which asks you a load of questions on why you are leaving the company. well, you know me, not one to hold back my feelings, i ripped into the company, the staff, the managers the pay etc. meanwhile the boss is filling out a form about me, basically to put on record in case i ever need a reference. similar to the school report card. to read that im the best employee to ever work for the company. Get this:
     
    "Phill Is a hard working leader who is naturally motivated, and easily motivates those around him. he has the respect of the entire work force, and keeps exeptionally high standards. His performance is on par with the stores Duty Managers, often exceeding even these. Always eager to learn, he holds a vast range of knowledge in areas which do not fall within his job description. His commitment to the cause is outstanding"
     
    You should have seen her face when she read mine!!
     
     
    Ive had a great idea. how cool would it be to write a letter to each and every member of staff in Alkrington telling them exactly what i think of them. Oh id be the talking point there for weeks. give them something new to bitch about. Those of you who actually work at alkrington reading this, you know im not on about you, its "the others". you know who they are!! you lot are just piss eds!! lol
     
    Sat night im out with the Shaw lot, should be fun, aint seen them in a while (that still on nick). give me a chance to show off my new phone
     
    turns out i owe tesco 700 quid for the bleedin comp. so much for buying the cheap second hand one, and giving this back. they are gunna get the DEBT COLLECTORS on to me apparently. hope it dont affect my credit rating. lol
     
    by the way, id love to know who thinks i a m the best dm in tesco?

    Controversy

    Renewal For my car insurance today. £62 a month WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! a whole £20 cheaper than last year. role on summer!!! Still not cheaper than my sisters tho, and she has a years less driving experience than me. Whats all that about? just because her voice is a bit higher than mine, she can walk in the street in high heels and not be stared at, and its ok for her to go to a tanning salon, she gets cheaper car insurance? cant be right. if you ask me women should not be allowed on the road in their Ford Ka's and their Nissan Micras. We would be much safer. the other day, the delivery driver at work had to move a customers car because she "didnt like reversing" WTF!! how the fook can you drive a figging car if you cant bleedin reverse!!!! Silly cow. GET BACK BEHIND YA STOVE!!!
     
    seriously, im not sexist, just think its very strange how women get priority treatment over men. its not fair. how come i always get the bum end of the deal? i pay more for me car insurance, i was born an oldham fan instead a united, i always get picked on the losing side at football (cant understand that) and i always lose at chase the ace. made me think tho, what would i do with three wishes?
     
    1. Make myself irresistable to women, i would always find the right words, and always end up with the girl.
    2. Give myself a skill that would ensure i was able to make a decent income for life, without having to learn it. this is an alternative to the usual wish of being loaded. thats boring, id be bored out of my tree after aweek. i slag it off but i need work. ( apart from Tesco *spit*)
    3. Hmm a third is hard er, GOT IT< ID WISH FOR THREE MORE WISHES!!!!!
     
    Saw Melias Sig the other day, had to laugh.
     
    "no one dies a virgin cos life screws us all"
     
    HOW TRUE IS THAT!!! 
    April 07

    Why....

    is it when i have no money, everyone else seems to be out on the town? i sit hear, on a friday night with only the laptop for company. I must tell you i am bored out of my f**king tree, thats the only reason im writing this. So anyways, what can i tell ya? well the first bit of good news is that i have a new job, starting in two weeks time at a plumbers merchants, order picking. this suits me down to the ground for three reasons
     
    1. its 8-5 mon-fri, meaning i can play football when i want, go latics when i want etc.
    2. its a pay rise of 50 p on my current job, not much but its better in my pocket than theirs!!
    3. Its in a plumbers merchant, meaning i sorta get a head start on my plumbing course which i intend to start in sept.
     
    This is the first foot on the ladder (which is a very high ladder, Lets just say im glad im not carrying it around on me shoulder) to what i wanna do, it might be a long way down the line, but i will fulful my ambition of property development....eventually!!!
     
    Anyway, this means i am finally out of tesco!!! i give my notice in today and it was the best day i have had at work in months. probably this year in fact. If you could see me in there this week you would think latics had just gone bust the face ive had on me!! two more week of hell, but then im free!!!
     
    Just about recovered from last weekend, but my voice is still a little croaky. feeling the pain tho, cos i left me charger in prestatyn, and my phone has fooked up anyway so im now phoneless. i have to wait until payday now which is too far away for my liking. ill be going on contract tho cos i cant afford to fork out 200 quis for a new payg phone. obviously, if you want me in that time, ring me on my house phone or on msn. My family isnt to good with phones recently. only today my dad "accidently" dropped his phone in the wheelie bin, and it just happens to be collection day, so his phone has now been crushed with the rest of the rubbish. personally, i think he just wanted a free upgrade from his work, last time, he dropped it down a 200ft man hole. "accidently" of course. why cant he just lose them like normal people?
     
    kidderz bday tommora, but im in the car, and only out for a couple of hrs. im in work early sun, and i cant afford it anyway.
     
    thats enough from me, ill just mention the latics awards dinner though, if your interested i need 25 quid off ya asap, first come first served. its a cracking do, just let me know
    April 04

    Is this the way to presthaven?

    What a top weekend, well, it was after we finally got there cos Gaz dont know his Flint from his Foof!!! went the long way round should we say, took 3 hrs to drive to what should have been an hrs journey, but that might have something to do with the fact that i was driving a car full of piss eds who couldnt control their bladders.
     
    Cant be arsed going into detail about the weekend, purely because i cant remember half of it, but if ya wanna see sum photos go to www.spaces.msn.com/sarahspix

    A week off

    Was in work monday and tuesday, but apart from that ive had two weeks off. paradise for a lazy lay about like me. i had intended stepping up my work at the gym but to be honest with ya, i cant be arsed. i need to step it up soon though, im slacking. Ben will overtake me in the skinnyness rating if i dont keep it up. Hes like a cocktail stick to my sausage!!!
     
    Spent most of the week searching for a new job, Work is really getting me down at the moment. I can honestly say ive never hated going into work so much in my life. That includes Mk (where i was attacked) and McDonalds (where all the rumours you hear are true) . Still thinking about property Development, but i have looked into it and it simply isnt viable to seek outside financing to support me, so ive decided to enrole on a plumbers apprenticeship at oldham college. starts sept so i need a shitty job until then (any offers). Plumbing offers shit loads of money at the end of it when you go full time, but its alot of hard work. the rewards are worth it tho.
     
    Football again tonight. We got beaten by claytonians on Monday night (6-4 i believe). wasnt a bad performance but far to many basic errors cost us. we have something to prove tonight in the qualifying round of the cup. i hear we are struggling for subs, so at least i will have a full game with the same person at the back for once. Then we gotta decide which pub to go in. The grey horse wasnt bad last week but some seemed unhappy with it, the church was a little better but the beer was crap. we shall wait and see.
     
    Tommoro sees the start of our weekend adventure to Prestatyn, North Wales for the Dance troup weekend. cant say ill be that enthrawled with the dancing, but the costumes might be nice, and there will be very few lads there so it will be heaven. plus we shall have beer on tap and we got enough food to feed an army, thanx to me and gaz having a very mature jaunt round tesco with me discount card (the one good thing about  working for them). We are gunna have 3 crates of lager and a bottle of jd + a bottle of vodka. im sure sarah and her sis are chipping in with summat (nudge nudge wink wink)  and Linz will too (ill let ya have the kingsize with kidders if ya do, lol). Back Mon and into work, so it aint gunna be a good end to what should be a top weekend.

    Belting weekend

    Ive been pissed two nights running, oldham have won, again, and i got paid friday. all in all its been a belter. ok, im a little hung over and worse for wear, but im sporting a new fancy dan hear cut, new threads and a fridge full of beer.
     
    Both friday and saturday i finished in Baileys, and its amazing just how hard it is to get the ink from the stamp off my bleeding hand. i have had three showers since friday night, and the mark is still visible. ive scrubed with a scratch pad, soaked with a sponge and .... ok, i cant think of anything else which starts with the same letters, so ill move on.
     
    Was drinking fish bowls on friday, and they are simply evil. they might taste good, look good and go down instantaniously, but the hangover from them is too much to bear, and they cost a bomb as well. still, giving my cherry away beats any chat up line (yes you did read that correctly).
     
    Saw a few people out over the weekend, Michelle, Emalia, (both of Tesco fame) the wobbly twins, Jim and his lovely wife (sorry, getting ahead of myself there), Jims sis Sarah, Chris, Lolly, Rodgers (who is convinced claytonians are going to dick us monday night, we shall see Mate we shall see, just remember i know about your ankle), Aimee and her hubby, Amanda and finally Col, but she never reads my space so i dont really see the point in mentioning her, but at least i can get away with saying she is still as fit as ever. Not a bad turn out really, considering Friday night Oldham was like a grave yard, no one out at all.
     
    Went for a Burger after with kidders and we had a very laddish discussion with two lads in the Gold star (think thats what its called, next to the taxi rank at the bottom of yorkshire street) Talking about the delights of oldham and how we had failed in our quest to land a future wife. must admit though, my tactics of distracting him while i ate half his curry were useful. very nice it was, chicken Jalfrezi i think, but i was pissed at the time so i cant remember. room stank of garlic this morning, but that could have been my arse.
     
    Latics won again, on our way to Sunderland, Birmingham and Portsmouth next year, book early for seats in the car. who needs play offs, lets oust Brentford. Come on you BLUESSSSSSSS!!!!
     
     
    Ill have to go and recover my voice somehow, two nights on the pop has took its tole, sound  like a right tit
    March 24

    Our new thursday night

    well what can i tell you, on the way to the gym this afternoon, i get a phone call off the blindman, most of you know him as macca. turns out he isnt blind at all, he didnt even have his eyes gauged out which was dissappointing. anyway, he wanted a lift to the football which wasnt a problem, i was picking kidders up anyway. on the way down, kidders rings melia and asks is it ok if he brings a friend, chappy. now you all know chappy, every one knows chappy, he is a legend, similar to how butter, kidders, myself, the beard etc are legends with timmy. i was a little confused tho. not only did i have the origional chappy in the car, i had a blind double of him in macca, difficult to tell them appart, that is until macca starts going on about twaty, dont for the life of me know what that ones all about. lmao.
     
    Football, as usual get stuffed 5-0 this week apparently, to be honest i didnt take much notice of the score, to busy shaking sand out of my hair after i land face down on the floor after a nasty collision with beardy. piss funny story. a ball was rolling away and me being a plant pot, think beardy has miss controlled it in defence so i go to clear it, take beardy with me, and thats the last i know. next thing i remember, im being rolled onto my back, and i hear someone say"give him space to breath". id only gone and knocked myself out. god knows how long i was out, but in that space of time, beardy accused the other guy of taking him out and goes to land one on him, all starts kicking off while im lying half dead on the floor. Bear in mind tho i only found all this out in the pub later. So not only had i fucked myself up, id also gone and took out our only other out and out defender on the night. Great move that. i came to with a gob full of sand and blurry vision, so i actually only played around 20 mins tonight. Turns out later though the other team who are below us lost as well so we stay in division two for next year. great, get mauled again every week.
     
    And so onto the pub. as you all know, we had a little set to with the buck last week, so we changed our alegencies tonight, and headed for the Grey horse. not a bad little pub, no quiz night, and deffo no karioke, so we could have a good old gossip amoungst our selves. right old women we are. only draw back was its lees' lager, dont think everyone was impressed with that, so i think we are going to reassess the situation come monday, after "training". lol
     
    Quite a good turn out by the lads tonight. most ive seen head back to the pub after kaski for a while. Kidders, Beardy, Me, Chickers, Chappy 1, Butter, Chappy Wannabe, Melia and Wayne. Im sure there will be more of us, ie, Ben and Sam, Pat, Chaddy etc if we can get a decent kick off time. Bit late for some. Had an absolute ball tonight, and didnt have to shout above shite 30's music from a shitty impossible music quiz either.
    Someone happens to mention latics play Hartlepool next friday night, within two minutes of hearing that i had a full car organised, and was halfway up the A1, until Melia decided to invite me to some dance troop weekend in Wales. ive been promised 500 + females, with hardly a bloke in sight, so your word better be good Gaz!!. Hartlepool was instantly off.
     
    Kidderz did his usual trick of getting pissed off three pints, and finishing half an hour after every one else, but we shall let him off. He was comiserating tonight cos he hasnt got a barmaid drueling over him anymore.
     
    Anyway, thats all from me folks, sorry this blog aint as interesting as last weeks, i doubt ill  get 600 hits off this one. God i miss the Buck!!! LMAO
     
    Still, The pizza was nice, and the popadom, Three cheers to the grey horse!!
    March 22

    Finally

    the things which have gone on in the past week are finally history, ive spoken to sean and we have settled our differences. Hopefully, all spaces will become light hearted again.
     
    anyway, ive kicked off the chumpions league on xpert 11, and unfortunatly im bottom, but only cos we havent played any games!!! and my name begins with a W (Winners Inc). Cheating has already surfaced and ill get you back Tasker!!!
     
    Picked up the parents from the airport this morning, so no more 4 o clock drinking sessions with a bottle of vodka for me. They are well brown, im jealous cos all i can afford is naff all!! But hence, after i finish paying  for the car next month, ill be rich, rich i tell you HA HA HA HA!!!! ok, il have 100 quid more a month.
     
    Tesco is really getting me down at the moment. Im fed up with working nights, fed up with working for peanuts, fed up with all the back stabbing which goes on there, and fed up with the management. Im that close to handing my notice in. put it this way, i have two weeks off at the moment, and ill be putting them to good use.
     
    It has always been my dream to go into property development, Starting from when i was young and building houses with lego with my sister, and playing the Sims/Sim City etc on the computer in my teens. Seeing things develop is what i enjoy most. The trouble  has always been i have no manual labour skills, no trade etc, and to make property development work, you need to be a dab hand with the finances, and also with a tool kit. Well my friends, thats just what i plan on doing. all the shit from work has pushed me into going for it. My uncle is a millionnaire, and his son is well on the way to becoming one. Hopefully property development is the key to my fortune.
     
    Im not stupid, ive thought long and hard about this (about what i want to do as an ultimate goal, not how to go about it), and understand the financial costs involved, plus the fact i would need to be competant in each of the areas involved. Financing, plastering, bricking, plumbing, sparks joinery etc. to make any money at this game you need to have an understanding in each of the areas, so me going into full time property development is far in the future. In the near future however, i intend on qualifying in one of these areas first, and making a living in that field, while learning a new trade. Looking at it, plumbing is the way to go.  
     
    In the mean time, i will probably have to take a pay cut in a nine to five job, to enable me to go to college. I will struggle, but with the bonus of having an extra 100 quid from my car, im sure ill get by. I really need to sit down with my mum and dad and talk things thru, but ill keep you up to date
    March 20

    Events of the past week

    all blogs, comments etc from the past week have been wiped clean. The whole situation has got out of hand. Quite frankly, Its stupid. From now on, the matter is closed as far as i am concerned. Any comments left to this blog will be deleted if i feel they cause offence.
     
    At the end of the day all i want to do is play football and enjoy a quiet pint later. End of. case closed
    March 05

    My alcohol tolerence level has hit a new low

    what is it about alcohol that determines how much a person can drink? when i was a pup, and had only just started going out on the town with schoey and jim, i could drink as much as the next guy, spending upto 100 quid on a night out and still remembering everythin the following day. these days, i only need four or five cans and im tipsy, any more than ten and i end up falling asleep on my bathroom floor! Trouble with me is if i intend on having a good night, like fri, i over indulge too quickly. im sure those of you who were out christmas eve, or last boxing day will testify for that. not to mention those who were there fri.
     
    my mum has always said to me that i dont know when to stop  and that i am very easily influenced by some (jim). correct on both counts. therefore i am making my new years resolution right here, right now (yes i can tell the time, and i know it aint january, but what the hell, its my resolution, ill make it when i want). from now on, i will learn to say no, and i aint gunna be dragged into getting legless by no one. im not 16 and its about time i learnt to drink like a 21 year old (i should really learn to do alot of things like a 21 year old, but this will do for now).
     
    im not going to bore you with the details of my weekend, if ya really wanna know read kidderz space. (id love to say its not true, but unfortunatly it is)
